Spotted a 1929 Swiss Luger...

The funny "EP" proof is actually a stylized "BP" or "bernerprobe" applied to Waffenfabrik Bern weapons whose barrels were proofed to 40% overpressure. For what it is worth, I have never seen a 06/29 Swiss with strawed parts or external serial numbers on the side plate. Even the "transition" pieces had blued trigger, take-down lever and thumb safety. On the 06/29 Swiss that I have seen (including mine) the side plate is serial numbered on the inside on the extension that is captured by the take-down lever. Mine has the last three digits of the serial number stamped there.
